Hey to the OP here in Or. I can only get one blacktail deer maybe two If I'm lucky and draw one. But here we can also hunt Elk, Black bear, Cougar, Turkey, Mule deer, Upland game birds, Waterfowl, and small animals, so yeah I can only take one but I can also get bigger animals too. Oh and once in a life draw tag for bighorn sheep.
There are also Antelope and rocky mt. Goat. So yeah its still a lot of funny. I would love to be in a state that lets you take more than one deer, but also happy with the other animals I can hunt.

3. Alone with God..
4. The victory
5. Processing meat..fillinf the freezer.
6.Seeing the look on my kids and wife's face when I bring somerhing home..very rare but it does happen

Why do I bother... because I've been doing it longer than you've lived. Besides that, who says we don't hunt other states. Besides that.. who says we have to follow the law. LOL[8D][8D]

stupid question. I hunt b/c I love it. I bowhunt b/c I love more than any other form of hunting.
I can kill 2 does and 1 buck archery. any deer archery and any deer rifle. But I can hunt all the way through with my bow
. Tags around here are based on numbers. Deer #'s are down and the tags are down too. Sounds simple to me. We in the north can have a hard winter........ deer are out there 365. Its alot harder on them.
Here's another one for ya. Do you have moose, elk and bear available to you in your state/province? I do. And archery tags are easy to come by.[:-]

Well "to me" there is no thrill in any form of unlimited Doe tags. If I was tagged out on a buck I doubt seriously that I'd enter the woods to strictly pursue doe. I can shoot 1 buck in Ohio, if thats not enough I can also shoot 1 in PA..and then if that doesn't do it..I can go elsewhere as time and money permit.

Its all about the passion of hunting. I i couldonly shoot one deer in my state i would still hunt. And there is also different game that you can hunt in the fall like squirl and rabbit

If my state were anything like that I would start hunting in another state. I mean, how can 1 deer only rule keep you engaged in a hobby? Literally, you guys might only hunt 1 day out of the year i.e. first day kill a buck or doe and then you're done.
This would be a good question to ask.....no poll.....just have people respond, individually.
"If you live in a one deer state....do you wish you got more tags" (if your resource would handle it)?
"If you live in a one deer state....do you wish you got more tags" (if your resource would handle it)?
To be in the outdoors and enjoy the peace and animals and mother nature.

It is what I do and love to do, It keeps me out of trouble, and my instincs pure. The kill is not the hunt, it is the Kill, and it is over quik, the hunt last's forever!
